Looking at the Uni-solar PVL line of solar panels. These are the felxable ones that are about 16 inches wide and (depending upon wattage) up to 17 feet long. My question is for anyone that has used these.

Did you just use the self adhesive on the panels and glue directly to the roof?

I ask because the instructions I downloaded show they panel being first mounted to a thin piece of sheet metal (via the self adhesive) and then the metal (with panel attached) mounted to the roof.

Thanks. I did the search a while ago and read virtually all the posts. I could not find any that were clear on how they were applied. A few references like "I stuck them on my roof". I started this thread hoping for a bit more detail.

I would like to put the 124 watt ones on my roof. However I only have 14.5 feet and they requiere 16.5 feet. The last 2 feet would be off horizontal as they round the back of the camper. With last foot being vertical on the back of the camper. I would end up with about 100 watts of the panel horizontal and the rest less than optimally placed. Still beats going to the smaller 64 watt panels...
